10. Summary of thesis results:

Ethnic minority students dropping out of school is a very notable issue in Gia Lai province today. This is an issue that not only affects the students themselves but also affects social security in the future. Based on that reality, I have focused on researching the factors affecting the dropout rate of ethnic minority students in Dak Jo Ta commune - Mang Yang district - Gia Lai province.

There are many factors that affect the dropout rate of ethnic minority students. In particular, I focused on specific groups of factors. These are: factors related to the students themselves, factors related to the students' families, factors related to the schools, and factors related to the communities and authorities where the students live. Through studying the situation and influencing factors, I have proposed a number of solutions for each different group of factors. With research methods such as questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews, I have made a subjective assessment that the factors affecting the dropout rate of ethnic minority students are clearly influenced by cognitive factors (including the perceptions of students, parents, communities, and authorities). With that reality, I have applied cognitive behavioral theory to intervene for a specific group of subjects to contribute to promptly resolving this situation in the research area.

11. Practical applicability: The thesis will contribute to the application in limiting the dropout rate of ethnic minority students in the locality.

12. Further research directions: Continue to replicate and research in Gia Lai province.

11. Summary of the findings of the thesis: Ethnic minority students dropping out of school is currently problematic in Gia Lai province. This situation affects not only the students themselves but also social security in the future. Therefore I have conducted many researches on the factors that result in dropout problem of ethnic minority pupils in Dak Jo Ta- Mang Yang District - Gia Lai province.

The research reveals the fact that there are several reasons leading to dropout problem of ethnic minority pupils. In this study I focus on specific factor groups including elements deriving from pupils themselves, from their families, from schools and from communities where they live. Through understanding the situation and impact of these factors, I have proposed a number of solutions for different groups of elements. With the research method of questionnaire surveys, in-depth interviews, I truly believe that the factors resulting in the dropout status of ethnic minority pupils deeply rooted in consciousness (including awareness of students, parents, community and government). In that reality, I have applied cognitive behavioral therapy to intervene in specific groups to promptly improve the situation on the study area.
